A rather odd occurrence has been brought to everyone’s attention: LevelUp was asked by Twitter to change the name of their Twitter app. According to them, “Touiteur “can be seen as a misspelling of “Twitter”. No details were given regarding the request itself so we’re not sure if it was a friendly gesture or a hostile nudge with legal implications.

I’m honestly dumbstruck by this: “twitter” was a word before “Twitter” decided they wanted to “own” it. “Touiteur” looks nothing like that word. It could be made to sound like it, but at the end of the day, it still just sounds like the same word that has been in dictionaries since who knows when. Twitter and Facebook are almost beginning to act and sound like Apple, except Twitter doesn’t really sue anyone and their tone comes off a bit nicer compared to their social networking competitor.

I’m just rambling at this point: Touiteur is seemingly submitting to the request and is accepting suggestions for a new name. If they don’t care, then I guess I shouldn’t either. Go ahead and tweet them your own suggestion. [via Droid-Life]

Whether it’s your car or your smartphone, chances are if you love something, you want to baby it. If you want to keep your phone’s display feeling like new (or rejuvenate an old one), this glass wax is the perfect solution.

Smartphones these days are only getting more slippery, but if you’ve finally had enough — you need to see these ultra thin sandstone cases for the Google Pixel (and a variety of other smartphones). At $8, you may want to pick up two.

For Samsung’s failed Galaxy Note 7, its downfall could have been that it was simply too thin. A group of engineers at Instrumental examined the Galaxy Note 7 to figure out why, exactly, they kept exploding.

A new phone is the perfect gift for a techie who needs a powerful companion on the go. You’ll be pleased to learn the term “powerful” doesn’t have to be synonymous with a price tag of $600 or more these days.
